Drink

Bar Humbug

Woe betide dining pubs who ignore their guest's thirst. The Griffin remains a drinking pub. Farmers, labourers, our representative in Westminster, retired locals and teachers. We are proud that all choose to drink with us.

Here are a few rather earnest comments on our role as a pub. For more whimsy on wine, look at our Wine page.

Beer must be loved and cared for in the same way as food or wine. So we do.

We price our drinks for our local trade, not any stream of seasonal visitors. So London prices can remain in London.

We source unsweetened apple juice from the Usk Valley for children. They have a glass free with their menu.

Carafes of wine are brilliant. We serve them in measures of 250ml or 375ml. It means we can open more wines and you can have more choice.

By serving decent sized spirit measures (35ml), we don’t oblige you to order doubles: better for you and better value. And we mix our drinks properly.

Beers

We are a pub in a village in Wales. We are here to provide and promote good beer. So we have as many as four real ales on a constantly revolving basis.
